RvW was looking like it was going down: immediately got my shit together, stopped putting it off, and finally got snipped.
I knew what was next then and I’ve been seeing a slow burn towards the obvious consequences ever since. No regretti - but it’s a serious issue for everyone. Not everybody is Never Kids like I am.
I don’t have any experience with any brand other than AMD on Linux, but my understanding is that anything other than AMD dGPUs are a crapshoot if you’re wanting any more than display out.
Arc looks great, but the drivers are barely okay at Windows. I doubt 3D works acceptably in Linux.
Given Arc’s relative performance, for Linux grab a 6600-6600XT-6650XT-7600-6700-6700XT and call it a day. Don’t think too hard about it.
Got a buddy who just picked up an A770 16gb. Seems pretty pleased with it.
Hey, are you doing okay?
So here’s my perspective, as somebody who took many years of struggle and therapy to come to grips with the idea that I was abused and raped by a romantic partner:
For the person from the position of power, or a third party, you don’t get to decide the reality of the person experiencing the suffering. For the person it’s happening to - whatever their suffering is, it’s valid and real. That doesn’t belittle someone who has experienced worse. Everyone has their personal struggles. We’d all do better to consider other people’s experiences as valid and come at disagreements from a desire to learn and care.
Arguing for the sake of arguing is furiously jacking off your privilege boner for no real progress or useful outcome, other than feeling superior to someone lesser than you.
I have no earthly idea the context of why you’re asking though.
Who are you?

If you want something more Android-y the Sony NW-A306 exists.
Here’s an alternative article that won’t do that: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2023/10/ps5-slims-new-external-disc-drive-requires-online-pairing-before-use/
That website is a wreck. I purchased some parts from EOE and everything turned out fine, but I also know that people have had issues with them as well.
I flash modded a 6th gen Classic. I enjoyed the miserable experience, and I enjoy using the iPod for 320k MP3 AUX playback, but honestly I think a modern device probably makes more sense. If not a smartphone with one of the Apple-Aux adapters, maybe something like the NW-A306. Lack of streaming support is bad. No real FLAC / “high-res” support is bad. iTunes is a mess.
I’ve seen the innards of a KG.
You’ll get like 20 miles of range with the battery packs you might be able to squeeze into some hidey holes.
Your stripper name is City Where You We’re Born + Can You Drive Stick Shift + The Last 4 Of Your SSN.
Damn they got me again
2TB NVME 3.0 DRAM drive for my OS and games. + an extra 2TB NVME DRAMless 4.0 just games drive.
The partner’s PC is a 512GB SATA DRAMless SSD boot drive. + 1TB SATA DRAMless SSD games storage + 1TB HDD extra games drive for less frequently used games.
The only noticeable difference is between the HDD and any of the SSDs. I’m not entirely sure if you blind-tested me on loading games between that 512 and either of my NVME drives I’d be able to tell the difference. Although I haven’t tried any of those recent directstorage games.
I haven’t watched the second video, but I will say the game is solid and fun with friends. And it seems like community criticism is affecting a lot of the balancing and updates they do.
I think whatever concerns people had during EA the devs are attempting to address.
This person is evoking the idea of a game like BattleBit Remastered, by the way, if anyone reading this is living under a rock.
Fairphone being locked to /e/ to keep warranty in the US is a big detractor for a lot of the types of people that would want one.
I feel the best-of-both-worlds move nowadays is to get an iPhone SE and something like the Sony NW-A306. Just embrace a small dedicated media device, iOS for privacy but still getting to use the stupid iMessage and FaceTime features all of your asshole friends use, and an awesome DAP that you can install that one Android app you need for whatever reason.
Hey at least Xbox can play CDs.
PS5 is incompatible. [insert Techmoan video here]
Someone left a comment on [redacted] that spoke highly of the HiBy R2 II. I can’t speak for it but that might be up everyone’s alley here.
I’m still rocking a 6th gen iPod I just recently refurbished so I may not be the best advice here.
On my device that’s one of those websites that don’t allow using the Back button.
Neat.
